Ok...
So I am a part of a committee putting together a "seminar" targeting New Grads, Recent Grads and students.
We are tentatively calling it "REAL Life in the ER".
We are planning it from a humorous perspective.
I have the task of ED "Definitions"
You know...
"DDK"=Dead Doesn't Know it
"Code Brown"=No explanation needed...I hope!
Got it??!!??
So if anyone has some funny ones...please post them so I can include them in my "lecture"
Thanks!
:rotfl:
Also, any funny "Nurse Calls"
Oh yeah. Had a doc who ordered Serum Porcelain Levels when a pt was a "crock" or FOS
LOL, that reminds me of an old one they used in the '70s, when patients who were weird/chronic complainers/hypochondriacs etc. were referred to as "turkeys--" so, the joke was, if this type of patient presents to ER, order STAT serum feather level...
Ok, I work in a RURAL hospital, so you have to consider the types of pts we have out here. So, the few we have are:
PWTT - Poor White Trailer Trash
Jackie - Jack A$$
Norsaline - The infamous drug that will cure all drug seekers headaches the moment it is pushed (Normal Saline)
POS - Piece of S**T
CDCDSOB - Calm Down, Calm Down, Sons a *****es
traumaRUs, MSN, APRN
